Kitchen Manager

Mex 1 Coastal Cantina , is inspired by our surf trips down the Baja Peninsula cruising down the Mex 1 highway, veering off towards the ocean on a small dirt road and manifesting perfect surf in the cove it leads to. The entire experience fueled by the light, fresh flavors of the Baja peninsula served up in the little cantinas that dot the coastline (and maybe just a bit of tequila)! Until your next big adventure, we hope to provide you with the perfect little escape everyone needs from the daily grind of life!

If you have a passion for the restaurant industry and a desire to serve others, we would love for you to join our Mex1 crew! A strong work ethic, a positive “can do” attitude and an excitement to come to work are essential characteristics for a manager at Mex1 Coastal Cantina.
